Excerpt from Mysterious Legends of Edinburgh: Now for the First Time Told in Print

The metaphysician. Without going into nominalistic subtle~ ties, we are all aware, at least we ought to be, that belief in a narrative of bygone events is influenced by the words being taken for the things they represent, much in the same way as retinal images are taken for the objects that impress them. We neither hear the past events, nor do we see the present objects, and hence it is that our affections are called up by a good imitation, as well as by the reality. Even where there is nothing in nature for the words to represent, they still work their effect by something we might call verbal perception 5.
